Once Zane regained his footing, he looked about.
He did not know why James was hiding his identity from the Callahans, but he could tell that James had no standing in the family.
He considered for a few seconds before approaching again. “James is my savior. Do you know who I am? I’m Zane Dawn. Maybe you don’t know me and have never heard of me, but let me introduce myself. I control all the mines in the north. My operations include hundreds of coal, gold, and diamond mines. Whatever is underground is mine.”
Gladys was stunned.
She did not expect the rugged, rough man to have such an impressive background.
She had heard of him before.
James had saved his daughter, and he persuaded the Watsons and Xenoses to let the Callahans go, allowing them a new lease of life.
Her expression changed immediately, her face lighting up in a big smile. “The Mining King, yes? Please, come in.”
Zane looked at James and gestured respectfully. “After you, James.”
James looked admiring. Zane was a good man.
He strode into the house.
Gladys was about to stop him, but looking at how Zane treated James, she held back.
On the couch in the house.
Thea saw James walk in. She frowned. “Mom, what are you doing? Why did you let him in?”
James put the flowers on the table and smiled at her. “Hi, Thea.”
“Hmph.”
Thea hmphed coldly and sat down, ignoring James.
Gladys walked over to her and said, “Thea, get Mr. Dawn a glass of water.”
Thea glanced at Zane. Her brow furrowed even more. Who was he?
Even though she was confused, she did as her mom said. She poured a glass of water and gave it to Zane, smiling sweetly. “Mr. Dawn, here. Have some water.”
“Th-thank you.”
Zane, who was sitting down, got to his feet at once and accepted the water with both hands, looking shocked.
After that, he took a sip of water and looked at Gladys, smiling at her. “You only think that James is a bad match for your daughter because he’s poor. I’ve decided to transfer half my assets to James. Now, he’s worth at least five hundred billion. Is that enough to change your mind?”
